The numbers are there, but it seems like something is missing.

First there’s six, then 15, seven, and then three.

Four numbers representing points scored in the Giants’ four home games.

That means in 240 minutes of football there were eight shots, one goal, 31 total points and zero wins.

But Daniel Jones, the orchestrator of that lackluster attack, insists he always believed a scoring explosion was waiting around the corner.

“Yes, we hope to play well and get points every week,” Jones said. “I think we always go into it with that approach. “We’ve got to do a better job of ending the things that are holding us back from getting those points and avoiding hurting ourselves in those situations.”

That’s a good, welcome thought, and a rather isolated one, according to Jones and those among his teammates who continue to embrace the idea.

The Giants (2-6) will face the Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and if any of the loyal fans in the seats were anticipating final zone visits and a parade of points, thank goodness for their cocky optimism.

This is the first NFC East rematch of the season for the Giants, who have lost three straight games, and what awaits them is a flashing-light reminder of what can happen to the entire franchise when a new quarterback comes to town.

It’s easy to bring in a new quarterback.

What we’re talking about here is finding the ideal new quarterback.

It is the most difficult staffing requirement to find and the most important to fill.

One man can make a big difference.

“Without a doubt,” linebacker Micah McFadden told The Post. “Especially when he’s the point guard. The ball is in his hands 100 percent.”

This time last year, the Commanders were 3-5, including a 14-7 loss to the Giants in Week 7, and were on track to lose seven straight games to go 4-13.

This earned them the No. 2 pick in the draft.

In this case, teams often cannot reach the correct result.

Looks like the Commanders have hit the gold medal.

They’re alone in first place in the NFC East, and rookie Jayden Daniels is not only making the journey, he’s leading the rise in the driver’s seat.

Daniels arrived at a very opportune time; This addition stacked up as the fundamental building block of a true seismic shift in more ways than one.

dismissal of troublesome owner Dan Snyder and the sale to Josh Harris completely changed the course of the franchise.

With a new head coach (Dan Quinn in, Ron Rivera out) and plenty of money in free agency, there are a number of simple but effective moves.

But the quarterback is stirring things up, and Daniels is brewing a mouthwatering brew that will leave the league hungry for more.

He ranks second in the NFL in completion percentage (71.8) and doesn’t spike the ball down the field.

He ranks fifth in the league in yards per pass attempt (8.4).

He is seventh in passer rating (104.3), 12th in passing yards (1,736), seventh in interception percentage (1.0), 14th in sacks taken (17) and 22nd in touchdown passes (seven).

“He’s already one of the best quarterbacks in the league,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He has a very good vision, he can throw the ball to any area he needs to throw it, he can throw it under pressure, he can escape, he can make plays with his feet, he can escape, he can make plays with his arms, he gives good commands. When we talked to him we knew he was a smart man. “He’s playing really well, at a high level.”

It looked as if Daboll would continue extolling Daniels’ virtues all day.

Of course, we already knew what Daboll thought of Daniels. Evidential video about “Hard Knocks” revealing Daboll He said he supported the player and allowed him to attempt a trade with the 6th overall pick in the draft to acquire him.
